About My Clients
Do you feel uncomfortable talking about your religious or spiritual beliefs with your provider because you don't want to offend them or fear the label of forcing your religion on someone else? I want to create a safe place for you to be able to talk about anything and incorporate your spirituality into healing from trauma or coping with anxiety and depression. I want to walk alongside you in your spiritual journey, wherever that may take you.
My Background and Approach
I work with the adult population ages 18-65. I have worked with a various population and have a I work with clients primarily dealing with issues of addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues. I will always inquire about your specific norms, values, traditions etc to be respectful of everyone's differences. I focus on client’s strengths and what they want to work on. I explore with clients how self-care, eating habits, exercise, medical issues can impact mental health. I will work with clients who want to incorporate spiritual or religious practices into their treatment plan. I use numerous modalities such as solution focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and psychoeducation.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that as long as we are alive, we can change and grow. Though it can be difficult to change and step outside our comfort zone it can be done. I want to walk alongside you, give you tools to change and be your cheerleader as you do the work. I also believe that therapists are like shoes, you may wear a size nine, but each brand or style of shoe fits a little differently and its crucial to find the right shoe, just like it is important to find the right therapist. Just like when we were growing up, we outgrew our shoes and needed new ones, sometimes a therapist is in our lives just for a season. From day one of working with a client, I am working toward termination with that client. I want the client to gain the skills and a support system so they can fire me. I am kink aware and LGBTQ friendly.
